My friend from way back in High School, Barb Gerson has a site that she started when she recently went into business for herself called “My Sales Tactics<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

We sometimes write back and forth about some crazy things like the Ohiopyle “Over The Falls Race<\/a>“, but it’s usually business. She recently asked me to comment on her blog about what, if anything, that I was planning to do to get some free promotion for my business. I think that she wanted ideas on how to get free public relations for the fall season<\/a>, but I wrote about how I’m increasing my networking activities and using that to promote my business.<\/p>\n

I would love to be mentioned in my local newspaper or be interviewed by a radio or TV station, but I really haven’t spent much of my time working on that. I did have a reporter from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette call me about the post I wrote to get Pittsburgh to the top of Google for the Best City In The World<\/a>, but they didn’t mention my name in the article. It is number 2, by the way, and has been for quite a while now which is quite a success, but I don’t know if it will ever make number 1.<\/p>\n

While getting mentioned in the mass media would surely increase my site visitors I don’t know if it would help my business as much as having people that know me tell others about my skills. So I prefer to concentrate on networking.<\/p>\n

I have noticed since the middle of July that my business seems to be picking up and hopefully the economy is really turning around, but most businesses are still a bit slow and if you have any great (or even not-so-great) ideas about how someone can promote their business I would appreciate you adding a comment and telling us all about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
